HAUPPAUGE, NY — March 27, 2018 — Globecomm today announced a contract with Spanish satellite operator Hispasat to design and deploy a 7.3m Ka-band gateway satellite earth station in Ixtlahuaca de Rayón in Mexico to support high-throughput services via the Ka-band payload on Amazonas 5, which was launched in September 2017. Globecomm is providing design services using proprietary software for RF modeling which, complementing the engineering analysis, will reduce deployment risk. In addition to design and the management of manufacturing, Globecomm provides installation, integration, and testing prior to the start of service in collaboration with its in-country partner, AMFAR.
“Globecomm has more than 20 years of expertise in designing and developing Ka-band systems. That legacy is what attracts repeat customers like Hispasat, and we are thrilled to be collaborating again,” said Gerard Johnston, vice president for Americas at Globecomm. “We have demonstrated a commitment to innovation and efficient operation for the company. Our end-to-end approach to managing the technical, manufacturing, integration, and logistics requirements provides the value this important customer demands.”
The gateway can be monitored and controlled remotely from anywhere in the Hispasat global network.
